Where the Sandshrew money is

Value is not spread evenly across the printings — the ranking below is by total tracked value, not by card count, the same measure as the most valuable Pokémon cards.

The top 6 of 26 Sandshrew cards hold 82% of the $70 total. The remaining 20 share what is left, which is why a “complete Sandshrew collection” in the collection tracker costs far less than the headline suggests until you reach the top row.

This is the median, not the average. Averaging the ratios gives 114×, which only 8 of 24 cards (33%) actually reach: a card worth a few cents raw with a three-figure slab produces a ratio in the hundreds and drags the mean above almost the whole set. The median is what a card in the middle really does, and it is the figure to take to the grading ROI calculator.

90 days and 1 year are withheld: the weighted index and the basket total disagree over those windows, which means the index was re-based rather than the cards re-priced. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number.

Collecting Sandshrew cards

Sandshrew has been printed in every era of the game, from 1999 (Base) to 2025 (Mega Evolution). The Modern (2011–2019) era holds the most printings, 9 of the 26. The value sits elsewhere: the Vintage (1999–2003) era's 7 cards are worth $35, 50% of the total, against $21 for the Modern (2011–2019) printings.

Most Sandshrew cards are cheap to own: 23 of the 26 priced cards sit under $5 raw, the cheapest being the Sandshrew, and the median card is worth about $0.75. None reaches $50, so the total above is spread thinly rather than stacked in one card.

By rarity the printings split into 1 tier: every card is Common. 24 of the 26 cards carry a PSA 10 price, the figure the grading section uses; those cards are worth about $0.75 raw at the median, against $0.19 for the 2 with no gem-mint price on file.

The grid filters by set and rarity and sorts by value, era, the PSA 10 gap or the 30-day move, so the cheapest Sandshrew is one sort away (add the rarity filter for the cheapest holo); the by-set index above lists every card as text for when you know the number. Prices are CardTrack's blended raw value from real sold results, updated today.
